Restaurant Barrier: X Series

This outdoor dining barrier design minimizes labor while maximizing the selected material: 4’x8’ plywood sheets. Through a series of divisions and cuts, pieces can be joined through nails and interlocking to create a 18”x48”x34” planter or bar height table. With a few adjustments, this same concept can be applied to the construction of tables, benches, and single seats. The blank wooden surfaces can be customized by restaurant owners or local artists.
